I got sooo lost today
So I have this per diem job doing home care and I have no sense of direction but I usually am with someone. Well today I was by myself and had to go from East Elmhurst to LIC. Can I tell you all that I now HATE mapquest.
The directions were all weird, said take Grand Central which will turn into 278. Well I get on the GCP and dont see an exit and see a sign for last exit before toll so I get off , go around and try again.
Still nothing, so I think maybe this is the last exit on the GCP but maybe it splits to 278 so I stay on it.
What do you know? I am on the freakin TRIBORO bridge and wind up on Randall's Island, where I have NEVER EVER been. And they made me pay the toll, with my last $5, good thing its only a toll one way or I would stll be there.
Funny thing is I always have nightmares about missing an exit and winding up on a bridge. Guess this was my nightmare come true.
I called DH, and all he could say was "The Triboro bridge? how did you do that?"
And the kicker was where I was going was only 1-2 miles from where I started

Scary! I know the feeling! At least you had cash on you.
I know that LIC is at the last exit on the LIE before the midtown tunnel. That is the way we usually go.

I got lost today as well. I had to go to Massapequa and I cannot tell you how many different streets/roads/avenues/places are called "Bay" or "Bayview"

Uggh, I hate Mapquest. I usually map out where I am going using several differnt mapping features. I am neurotic like that, and yes, I would have ended up over a bridge somewhere too!

Re: I got sooo lost today
And this is why i refuse to use mapquest, it never gives you an accurate direction to where you are suppose to go.

Re: I got sooo lost today
See, this is why I'm waiting until this summer when the car I want comes with GPS. I'm constantly getting lost. It's such a horrible feeling.

Re: I got sooo lost today
I told DH we are getting a GPS and he said for this job you work once a month?
BUt since I am directionally challenged I think its a good idea.
It was really scary today, and WINDY on that bridge

I just got DH a Garmin for his birthday and he LOVES it.
He gets lost walking to the car in the morning, so we really needed it.
